Trilateral Research Shortlisted for ADS Security Innovation Award for Flagship Child Safeguarding Solution

Trilateral Research is pleased to announce that it was shortlisted for the ADS Security Innovation Award at the Security & Policing 2025 Home Office event. The award recognises companies that have developed innovative security solutions that significantly enhance the UK's ability to prevent, respond to, or investigate risks and incidents. 

The shortlisting acknowledges Trilateral Research’s pioneering work on CESIUM, an ethical AI solution developed to enhance child safeguarding. CESIUM enables multi-agency data sharing and real-time risk assessment, helping to identify vulnerable children earlier and support timely interventions. 

The judging panel was impressed by the breadth of innovation coming through from UK industry, reflecting the strength of the sector in tackling security challenges through cutting-edge technology. Trilateral demonstrated a clear understanding of barriers to entry, showcasing how CESIUM has been designed to navigate complex regulatory and operational landscapes. The team also highlighted the co-design approach, which ensures that safeguarding professionals are actively involved in shaping the solution, making it practical and effective in real-world settings. Additionally, Trilateral outlined CESIUM’s potential for international export, reinforcing its adaptability and scalability beyond the UK. 

Dr Hayley Watson, Innovation and Research Director, commented:  

"We are delighted that CESIUM has been recognised by the ADS Security Innovation Award panel. Being shortlisted for this award is a testament to the dedication of our team and our partners in harnessing AI for social good. CESIUM represents a significant step forward in improving safeguarding practices, and we remain committed to developing solutions that drive meaningful impact." 

Trilateral Research is looking forward to today’s in-person session at Security & Policing 2025 and will be available on-site until Thursday for discussions. This event provides a valuable opportunity to engage with industry leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to explore how innovative technologies like CESIUM can strengthen public safety. Attendees interested in learning more about CESIUM and Trilateral’s work on responsible AI are encouraged to visit the team to discuss potential collaborations and future applications.
